SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 391.924, dated October 30. 1885.

Application filed Fcbruary7,1888. Serial No. 263,268. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern.'

Be it known that I, LAMBERT SNYDER, of Midland Fark, in the count-y of Bergen and State of New Jersey, have invented new and useful Improvements in Churns, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to an improvement in ehurns, and has for its object to provide a dash ot' simple and cheap construction, capable of easy manipulation, and which will be eliieient and rapid in action.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claim.

Reference is to loe had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure l is a vertical section of the churn, illustrating the dash partially in elevation and partially in section. Fig. 2 is an elevation of the dash at a right angle to that 'illustrated in Fig. l and partially in section. Fig. 3 is a transverse section through the dash on line x x of Fig. 1. Fig. 4t is a partial longitudinal section through the dash and operative lucchanism, and Fig. 5 is a transverse section on line g/ y of Fig. 4t.

In carrying out the invention, A represents the body of the churn, and B the lid, provided with a central aperture, through which the stem C of the dash is adapted to project. Upon each side ofthe lid-aperture the legs of a substantially U-shaped bracket, G', are se cured, which bracket is centrally apertured and provided upon the under side with a collar, CZ, surrounding the said aperture. A spindle, C3, is passed vertically downward through the aperture in the bracket, and provided near the lower end with a diametrical outwardly-projecting pin, a, and at the upper end with a grooved pulley, c, which pulley and spindle are reeiprocated, preferably, by a bow, c2. I do not, however, confine myself to this mode of manipulating the spindle, as other suitable or approved means may be einployed.

The dasher consists of a stem, C, through.

which the cross-bars d of a conical frame, D, are passed and secured, the apex of said frame constituting the upper end, and in the side pieces of the frame a longitudinal slot, d', is

cut. The cross-bars d2 of a second conical frame, D, are projected through the opposite side of the stem, the upper cross-bar, which is the longest, heilig below the short or upper cross-bar, d,.of the frame D, whereby the apex of the frame D is brought below the base of the said frame D, the two frames being at right angles to each other. The side pieces, di, of the frame D are also longitudinally slotted. intervening the base of eachconical frame, rods e and c are projected alternately in opposite directions through the stem, the rods e aligning the slots in onel frame and the rods c the slots in the other frame, to produce a thorough agitation of the liquid. Thus the dash consists of a stein, two conical slotted frames at right angles to each other, having their apiees reversely located, and a series of opliiositely-arran ged rods intervening the bases of the frames. The upper end of the stein is provided with a ferrule, H, having a central bore, L, in the upper end and a diametrical slot, h. traversing said bore, as shown in Figs. 4t and 5.

In operation the bore in the ferrule is made to receive the spindle C and the slot the spindle-pin a. The dash is thereupon vibrated through the medium of the bow or equivalent device. As the dash rotates in opposite directions, the frames draw the iiuid from the top and bottom toward the center of the dasher, where it is broken by the rods and cut in its passage through the slots in the frames. By this means iine flake-butter may be obtained in a very short space of time and with little labor.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim' as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination, with the dashsteni, of adversely-arranged slotted conical frames held in said stem at right angles to each other, oppositely-arrunged horizontal rods projected through the stein in alignment with the slots of the frames between the base-bars thereof, and means, substantially as described, for manipulating said stem, as and for the purpose specied.
